(2) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company issued $100,000 of senior subordinated unsecured notes on November
15, 1995.  CGF Properties, Inc. has not guaranteed the unsecured notes and
financial information for this wholly-owned subsidiary is presented separately.
All of the Company's other direct and indirect subsidiaries, AOL Express, Inc.,
APR Forwarders, Inc., Oaken Keg Spirit Shops, Inc. and Alaska Advertisers, Inc.
are wholly-owned and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the unsecured
notes on a joint and several basis and, accordingly, are presented on a combined
basis. Parent company only information is presented for Carr-Gottstein Foods
Co., which reflects only its business activity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
accounted for using the equity method. Separate financial statements and other
disclosures for the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because in the
opinion of management such information is not material.

The following are condensed consolidating balance sheets:

CARR-GOTTSTEIN FOODS CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  (UNAUDITED)

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

GENERAL

    Carr Gottstein Foods Co. Is the leading retail and wholesale food company
in Alaska operating full-service supermarkets and wine and liquor stores as well
as the only full-line food warehouse and distribution center (under the J.B.
Gottstein name) in the state.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    13 WEEKS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO 13 WEEKS ENDED APRIL 2, 1995

    SALES.  Sales for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 1996 were $142.8 million
compared to $139.1 million for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995.  The 2.7%
increase was due in part to a new Carrs Store opened in Juneau, Alaska which was
cycled late in March coupled with sales improvement from the Eagle Quality
Centers (the "Eagle Stores") and increases attributable to Wholesale operations.
The increase in sales for the 13 weeks of 1996 reflects a 2.1% decrease and 1.3%
increase in comparable store sales for the Carrs Quality Centers (the "Carrs
Stores") and Eagle Stores, respectively. The Carrs locations were impacted by
several factors, including increased competitor promotional activity and
competitive openings which have not yet cycled.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 1996 was $40.1
million compared to $43.6 million for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995.  The
decrease in gross margin dollars is primarily attributable to the allocation of
warehousing and distribution expenses to cost of goods sold.  In previous
quarters, these expenses were not charged to the cost of goods sold but were
classified as operating expenses.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit was
28.1% for the 13 weeks 1996 compared to 31.3% for the 13 weeks 1995.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales for the 13 weeks 1996 decreased primarily as a
result of the allocation of warehousing and distribution expenses and partially
as the result of increased promotional  expenses during the quarter.

    OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating  and administrative
expenses for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 1996 were $35.4 million compared to
$37.6 million for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995.  Operating and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 24.8% for the 13 weeks
1996 compared to 27.0% for the 13 weeks 1995.  The decrease in operating
expenses is primarily attributable to the allocation of warehousing and
transportation expenses to the cost of goods sold section, increases in expenses
due to a full quarter of expenses from the new Carrs Store opened in Juneau in
March 1995 and additional expenses related to the "Fusion" corporate re-
engineering project that was brought to a conclusion in March of 1996.

    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 1996
decreased to $4.7 million from $6.0 million for the 13 weeks ended April 2,
1995.  This decrease was due in part to the full quarter of expenses from the
new Carrs Store opened in Juneau in March 1995, increases in depreciation, a
slight reduction in operating income due to the increase in promotional spending
and the impact of the additional expenses associated with the "Fusion" project
as discussed above.

    OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Net interest expense was $7.0 million for the 13
weeks ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3.4 million for the 13 weeks ended April
2, 1995.  The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the full
quarter impact of the increased interest costs related to the borrowings
associated with the self stock tender  completed by the Company in November of
1995.




                                          11

    INCOME TAXES.  The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the 13
weeks ended March 31, 1996 of $0.7 million compared to a $1.3 million expense (a
52.4% effective tax rate) for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995.  The high
effective tax rate in 1995 resulted from the amortization of intangible assets
for which no tax benefit was available.

    NET INCOME.  Net loss for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 1996 was $1.6
million, or $0.21 per share, versus net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per
share for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations
and its working capital revolving credit facility, which are considered to be
adequate for anticipated cash needs.  Primary uses are capital expenditures,
debt service, and lease payments.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.4 million for the 13
weeks ended March 31, 1996 compared to net cash used from operating activities
of $3.3 million for the same period in 1995. The change in the 13 weeks 1996
compared to 1995 was due primarily to increased inventories and receivables
offset by larger increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

    Capital expenditures for the 13 weeks ending March 31, 1996 were $1.7
million.  The majority of these expenditures were related to the "Fusion"
project and other projects started in the previous year.  Although the company
will consider opportunities for new store construction or acquisition, should
they arise, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $6.0 million
for fiscal 1996.  It is anticipated that the balance of 1996 capital
expenditures will be funded out of cash provided by operations and borrowings
under the working capital revolver.

    Net cash used for financing activities the 13 weeks ending March 31, 1996
was $8.1 million.  During this time period, the Company reduced its borrowings
under its revolving line of credit by $8.0 million and made payments against its
long-term debt in the amount of $0.2 million.  The level of borrowings under the
Company's revolving debt is dependent primarily upon cash flows from operations,
the timing of disbursements, long-term borrowing activity and capital
expenditures.

    At March 31, 1996 there was $8.0 million outstanding on the revolving debt
borrowings and $0.3 million outstanding for standby letters of credit.  The
Company had available unused credit of $27.0 million.  Funds borrowed under the
revolving credit portion of the Company's credit facility are restricted to
working capital and general corporate purposes.
